We see that our friend Cant. W
T. Ratliff, of Raymond, will be A
candidate for Secretary of the StaS
Senate. We suppose there i not
a mas in the State who stands bisb-
er as a citizen and a Christian gen
tleman than Capt. Ratlif, and he
is IN every way competent to Eli
the position to which he aspires.
His opponent, d. P. Porter, secrs-
tary ofthe last Senate, has held the
office nearly ever since the war and
recently opposed Capt. Ratliff for
Clerk of the County Court, we are
informed, solely on the plea that
there should be rotation in Office.
We hope that the coming senate
will agree with him and honor

FRU,f D. ~

We hav gist arriv frum a very
extinded FORMULATION over the
wild and woody hills of Pontotoc
and Laiayett counties. This visit
was leetle premature, but super
induced and almost made cumpul-
sorry by the long sitting Of our late
county Grand Jury. 3 weeks sit
ting in this county while Judge
Buchanan was on the Bench, used
to turn out a frst-class crop Of
young BOOSTERS, that went 10 train
their voices for the democratic
host, while yet in their teens. But

worth a durn, but to dabble around
in the mud. But the weather is
not always responsible for the off
spring, for we can testify, that our
last Grand Jury were men of sense
and showed their sound judgment
on several occasions familiar to
your correspondent.
Some three years since Judge
Buchanan instructed me as J. P.
to send all eonvicts "direct to
county contractors" as he very
wisely Said "to save the poor dew
lis any extra charges" Judge
Houston instructed the Grand
Jury, the last day of its term to
find bills agaistsfl J. P's. "who

says, ''to the poor devil that pays

1 SONG FoR A BOY ! LOVE.

Keep ahead OF the world, II you can, my boy,
'Tis the only sure way TO succeed,
II you e'er fall behind, twin be hard 70 get back
Tothe spot where you once had the lead;
And there's no way to win in the battle OF me-
So easy, so safe and so sure,
AS to have few dollars ahead OF your wants
For most Of life's ms tits the cure.
But you never get dollars TIL first you got
pence,
AS from acorns the mighty oaks grow
Work hard, and work ewes, and save as you toll,
No matter il progress seems slow;
Thus be true to yourself in the years OF your
youth,
And you'll rest without worry when old;
Save the pennies to-day, into silver they'll turn,
And the silver viii grow into gold.
Let the fools try to tempt you to pleasures to-
day,
That win take the small coin from your purse
Store your brain in the hours they give to the
world
With knowledge, you'u not be the worse;
For labor, and study, and saving in youth
VIII give rest and content when you're old,
And the pennies to-day viii be silver full soon,
And the silver will grow into gold.
Fair Italy lies on the Alps farther side,
It's the place we have dreamed OF Away,
But those Alps must be climbed by the stout
limbs OF youth
Ere by Tiber we pass age away;
80 work, my brave boy, in the years OF your
strength,
II you want rest and plenty when old
Take care OF the pennies, to silver they'll turn
And the silver will grow into gold,

LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS.
A Life That Has Considerably More Rou-
tine Than Romance in 1t.

A Life That Has Considerably More Rou-
tine Than Romance in 1t.
There is very little romance in a
Iight-keeper's life, but routine and hard
work. Like every Government employee,
he works ten hours a day, but his
wages must not exceed an average of
$500 per year-a sum for which ninety
nine out of hundred would not risk
their lives once in a year. He must not
be a drinking man, because if he Is
once found intoxicated he is promptly
discharged. If his light is near life
saving station he must take charge of
such boats and apparatus as the ever
vigilant inspector orders him to do. II
he is on a lightship he must keep ration
books, snip journals and log books
as if he were an emplOye of the Navy
Department, while in reality the whole
lighthouse establishment is part Of the
Treasury Department. The keeper and
his assistants must be over eighteen
and under fifty years of age. They
must be able to read and write and
competent to make very minute reports
about the condition Of their station, in
closure, pier, light, its illuminating
power, and other matters too numer-
Gus to mention. At isolated stations,
where there are two or more keepers, no
women or children will be allowed to
reside; no women are permitted to re-
side on lightship under any circum-
stances. Furthermore, and that is
what made the gathering of data for
this article very difficult:
keepers Of lighthouses and masters
of light-vessels and buoy-tenders and
other persons employed in the light
house service are prohibited from pub
fishing any notice or other information
or giving to any newspaper OF other
publication any information in relation
TO lights, buOys, or other aids TO navi-
CATION, the movement Of light-vessels
or tenders, or the condition or progress
of construction of works or repairs. >
OF course the lightkeeper must keep
his premises clean and whitewashed.
grounds in order. all the inside painted
work of the lantern we'll washed and
retouched with paint. Keepers and
crews of hght-vessels are permitted 10
visit their friends and families on shore
from time to time. If no satisfactory
explanations can be made in cases
where the regular supplies for a station
run short portions of the salary are
withheld. Chicago Herald.

The Great international PrevRrfoRtor a
Morh in Sunny Georeia.

The Great international PrevRrfoRtor aa
WorA; In Sunny Georgia.
A DR.. Seysrs, of Clayton, Ca, was
startled few evenings since, while driv.
ing home from visit to patient, by the
fall of a meteor, or what he supposed to bo
a meteor, and which buried itself in the
earth only a few yards ahead Of him.
Hurrying home, continues the Chicago
Mail, he procured a spade and pick, re-
turned to the spot and dug up the @rial
visitor while it was still smoking hot. To
his great surprise, instead of finding an
irregular mass of meteoric stone, there
appeared a smooth, perfect sphere of
steel-blue metal, with polished surface and
engraved with pictures and writings.
There was a deep-graven circle within
which was four-pointed star, represen-
tation of a loird-reptile resembling in a
measure our extinct archaopteryx, and
great number of smaller figures, resembling
those used in modern shorthand. The
metal of which the ball was composed was
about as hard as copper, entirely infusiblo
by the Bunsorl blow-pipe, and evidently
new element. The doctor is of opinion
that this picturesque missile
may have been fred from
some monster gun on a neighboring planet,
probably Venus or Mars, or possibly the
moon, and that it may be the first result Of
a series of experiments which may end in
establishing communication with those
heavenly bodies. 1t is expected that tho
heavenly canDn-ball, or whatever it is, will
attract unusual attention among scientists.
They will probably discover, if they give
the matter thoroughly scientific investiga-
ton, that the great international liar is
loose somewhere in Georgia.
